The intelligence of this argument is limited by your ignorance. And yes, popularity is growing overall. As Cheese mentions, fearing for the future and health of the CFL is a decades old past time. The league nearly went under entirely in the mid 1990s. Since then, overall attendance has grown significantly, which is far more reflective than single year-over-year differences. Also, as noted, television viewership continues to rise. This all combines to create a situation where nearly every team is playing in new or renovated stadia. This doesn't happen for a "dying breed".
And yes, inferiority complex. So many Canadian NFL fans seem to feel that their choice in code of football can only be validated if they make someone else agree with them. It is an odd pathological need for someone to say "you know, you're right!" so that you can justify your preference for the NFL style. It is something I just don't understand, myself. There is nothing wrong with liking the NFL, and there is nothing wrong with liking the CFL. The only butthurt we tend to find in these threads comes from people like you that seem unable to handle the fact that there are people who can and do like both codes, or who prefer the Canadian game exclusively.
